That truck looks badass! You have some nice ground clearance.

mixed opinions on the 2.5" for 4x4's. Thats extreme. Truck looks really good, I figured you'd go for 33" with that much lift...

How long have you been using the 2.5" kit? Any failures in the front end yet?

Also, can you take some pictures of the front cv axles? I'd like to see the angle.

The kit has only been in for about a week. I'll try to get some pics tomorrow. At least if some breaks, my brother is a mechanic.

Here's a pic of what I had to trim. When the wheels were turned it was catching on the inner edge of the mud flap. I also trimmed about 4 inches up off of the inner plastic fender well. Now it's perfect.
